Research

This page is a little out of date: more current info coming soon…

With Joshua Green, I spent most of 2007-2008 doing research on YouTube. The project brought together cultural and media studies theory with a large-scale survey of YouTube’s most popular content as well as an analysis of media representations of the cultures of online video. We have a book coming out in 2009 based on the study.

In early 2007 I completed a PhD on everyday creative practice and the ‘democratisation’ of technology. The thesis is called Vernacular Creativity and New Media. And before that I completed a study called High Culture as Subculture: Brisbane’s Contemporary Chamber Music Scene for my Master of Philosophy at the University of Queensland.
